Premier PRS 200X Solar Energizer & Kit

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Read reviews »

Discontinued — The PRS 200X is a 2-joule solar powered electric fence energizer for areas of the US with less sunlight in summer (e.g. New England) and in particular when sunlight is less and cold temperatures reduce battery capacity.

When compared to competing units with similar output, PRS units have a larger solar panel (in watts) and larger batteries (ampere hours).

Update – April 2021This item is sold out and has been discontinued. Look to the Solar IntelliShock® 180 units as an alternative. —Premier

  • 2.7 stored joules
  • 2.0 released joules
  • 1.72 joules in moist soils
  • 0.4 joules in dry soils

Miscellaneous

  • Requires 6' of ground rod in the ground.
  • Draw from a 12V battery is 163 milliampere (mA) per hour. With this energizer a 12V 100 ampere hour, deep cycle battery will last approximately 15 days* on a clean or a weedy fence. *Assumes being drawn down to 40% between recharges.
  • 40 pulses per minute.
    • If properly used and or stored, battery should last 3-4 years.

Should Power...

  • 2.5 miles of 3 strand cattle fence.
  • 1 mile of 5-7 strand sheep fence.
  • 16 164' Sheep/Goat nets or 8 164' Poultry Nets.
All distances are dependent of grass/weed load on the fence.

Benefits
  • Assembled in house at Premier. We build each unit and test it before it goes out our door. This allows us to know that we are sending you a unit that works.
  • Ideal for low light regions
  • Lower cost per joule than competitors
  • Can be laid flat on the ground during summer months to make them less visible to the public.
  • To catch the sun's power in winter, simply lean it against a post. If you live in low-sun areas, do this in the late fall and early winter also.
  • All metal case; very strong and rugged.
  • Won't rust. It's aluminum and stainless steel.
  • Light brown exterior reduces its visibility to vandals and reduces heat buildup inside the case.
  • All metal clamps for lid.

How to Use
Attach the energizer unit to the battery and it is ready to use. Drive in the ground rod. Lay it on the ground or against a post. Then attach the earth clip to the ground rod and the fence clip to the fence. Switch it on (when switching on, make sure the button is pressed all the way in).

Winter Use

If you're not using your PRS unit during the winter follow these tips to preserve battery life:

  • Turn off the unit. Disconnecting the unit from the fence is not sufficient, the unit will still pulse unless it is turned off.
  • Clean off the solar panel. Dust and debris may have accumulated during use and as a result prevents the panel from maximum electrical production.
  • Before the unit goes into storage, fully charge the unit. This will allow the battery to be topped off. Batteries that are 50% or less charged may become damaged in freezing temperatures.
  • If possible, place the unit in a sunny area, this will allow the solar panel to continuously top-off the battery. The battery will lose charge over time even if the unit is disconnected from the fence and turned off.

    • If you're planning on using your PRS unit during the winter months, follow these helpful hints:

  • Face the energizer due South, this will allow the panel to receive the maximum amount of light possible during the low-light days of winter.
  • Instead of laying the unit on its back, stand up or prop up the unit (facing South) to allow it to receive as much light as possible.
  • Hang the unit up (facing South), secure the top and base to prevent the unit from moving. This will keep the unit out of most snow drifts and allow accumulated snow to fall off.
  • If the unit is not to be hung up, clear all debris off the panel, this includes grass clippings, dust (especially on gravel roads), leaves and snow. Do not place in shady areas, this will reduce light intake.

    • To use light tester WITHOUT ground probe

    For Fence:
    1. Touch the top of the tester to the electrified fence you wish to test.
    2. Push the button (if applicable).
    3. The tester will light up according to the voltage at that location on the fence.
    For Energizer:
    1. Turn off energizer.
    2. Disconnect ground wire and fence wire from energizer.
    3. Turn on energizer.
    4. Touch the top of the tester onto the top of the fence terminal on the energizer.
    5. Push the button (if applicable).
    6. The tester should light up to 6000 volts or more.

    To use light tester WITH ground probe

    For Fence:
    1. Insert the probe of the tester into the soil.
    2. Remove your hand from the metal portion of the probe (to avoid a shock).
    3. To get a voltage reading, touch the metal clip (on the top of the tester) to the electrified fence you wish to test.
    4. The tester will light up according to the voltage at that location on the fence.
    5. Remove the tester from the fence and the probe from the soil. Do not remove the probe by pulling the insulated wire.
    For Energizer:
    1. Turn off energizer.
    2. Disconnect ground wire and fence wire from energizer.
    3. Turn on energizer.
    4. Touch probe from tester to ground terminal on energizer (be sure to hold onto the insulated wire and not the metal probe!)
    5. At same time touch the fence hook on tester to fence terminal on energizer.
    6. The tester should light up to 6000V or more.

    Troubleshooting
    You’ll need an electric fence tester (included with kit) to measure voltage.

    Start by measuring the voltage at the end of the fence line. If the voltage is below 3000V, follow these steps to determine if the problem is with the fence, or the energizer.

    1. Turn off the energizer.
    2. Disconnect the wires going to the fence and ground stake/rod.
    3. Turn the energizer back on.
    4. Measure the voltage on the energizer between the two terminals (positive and negative) with a digital voltmeter or other high-voltage tester. Touch one end to “-“ (earth terminal) and the other end to “+” (fence terminal). The reading tells you how well the energizer is working without any other variables.
    5. If the tester reads below 5000V, then the energizer (or possibly the battery) is the problem. If the voltage is above 5000V, then the trouble lies with your fence.
    Determine if the battery or the energizer is the problem.
    • Test the battery with a low-voltage tester; recharge if lower than 12.2 volts
    • Check the grounding system
    LEARN MORE
    Re-attach the fence and ground wires to the energizer and turn it on. Then, walk or drive along the fence looking for situations that are reducing the voltage:
    • Conductors touching another wire, steel post or the soil
    • Broken or damaged insulators
    LEARN MORE

    Precautions
    • Make sure the power is turned off before working on the fence or the energizer.
    • Make sure the fence line is clear of grass and debris that may lower the fence’s voltage.
    • Ensure the solar panel is facing due south and avoid placing the unit where it may be covered by shadows from trees, bushes or tall grass.
    • Regularly remove all debris from the solar panel.
    • Batteries that are less than 40% charged may become damaged. Batteries MUST remain fully charged in freezing conditions.

    To Reduce Risk & Liability

    • Never place your head or upper spine near an electrified wire. Accidental head or neck contact can occur when pushing a voltage probe into the soil. Be careful when doing so to avoid head-to-wire contact!
    • Never attempt to step over or climb through an energized fence of any kind.
    • Never encourage anyone to touch an electric fence.

    Premier PRS 200X Solar Energizer & Kit

    I’m very happy with this energizer! I live in a Oregon, so light can be a problem in the winter. This product was super easy to set up. Luckily, my ground doesn’t have rocks, so the ground rods went in easily. I flipped on the switch and had an instant electrified fence. The next day it charged all day and stayed energized all night. A bit of an upfront cost, but I’m happy with this product.

    Too early to objectively review. Will say that because of snow depth, setting the energizer on the ground is impractical and it was difficult to keep the cover opened back while hooking up, on an elevated platform as directed. Likewise, energizing clamps were too short to reach the grounding rods from an elevated position.

    (I had to give this submittal a star rating and recommendation in order to submit).

    Fencer works geat, even maintains a significant 'shock' in the dead of winter due to the dual batteries and oversized solar panel. Would like to see an option available to purchase slide hammer type grounding rods. The soil here is very rocky (sandstone). The currently supplied grounding rods will penetrate the sandstone but are a real booger to get out without damaging them when it comes time to move the fencing. Portable doesn't work if you can't take the grounding rods with you to a new location and leaving them in makes a real hazard to livestock and grass mowers. Would have given it a 'five star' if not for the grounding rod problem.
